Abstract
M.Ed. (Education Management)
In this dissertation it is endeavoured to explore and discuss
the problem of student alienation from an educational
management view point. Such perspective inevitably aims
at the special task of the management team and particularly
to that of the management leaders of schools up to counteraction
of student alienation.
At first the question of the necessity of successful management
for meaningful educational instruction and study events
is raised. It is also indicated that student alienation and
organization climate fall within the field of educational
management because they link with staff-student and classroom-
affairs as management areas.
Management committees are ever conscious of the alarming
trend of alienation in schools. By clearing up this trend
it is not only endeavoured to point out how it is manifested
at school, but to draw the attention of management committees
to the importance of creating a healthy climate for
counteracting student alienation in the school environment.
One dimension of organization climate that is particularly
connected with student alienation is the reigning discipline
policy. Specific
accent is put on democratic ideas of co-responsibility and
involvement of management committees, staff and students by
discipline policy development. Odd basic-, organizational
and operational principles that can be taken as guide lines
for management leaders. are discussed.
In totality, management committees and -leaders are to be
made conscious of the urgent problem of student alienation
by means of this dissertation.
